Absorbing 80 minutes. Deservedly edged by ABs.
Probably the bravest ever Fre performance in NZ.
Defence so much stronger in the 2nd half and one that survived a yellow. Guillard a lion at 8. Villiere and Fickou dogs in defence.

Not the first AB "obstruction". These calls are marginal, so unlucky. Not a material obstruction imo.

Same formula up front will create the fatigue and then the gaps will appear like an earthquake.Monkey Magic wrote: ↑Sat Jul 05, 2025 8:52 amIt does have the look of a team that could get blown apart in the last 20min, but the half time reset can do crazy things
